I got this from an old chevy dealer (neighbor of a friend). But my friend says that he is starting to get a little senile. Take it for what it is worth.

Ok everybody, take look at the copy in the piece of literature here. What the old man said could be interpreted as correct, sort of. Not so sure about the 3/4 and 1 ton bit, but the lit states if you ordered the custom comfort package which included a seat with "extra padding", AND the exterior color happened to be red, white, or gray, then you automatically got the red vinyl.
NOW... to prove or disprove this, let's get a count on how many of you have seen a '62-'65 (I think only these years) truck or suburban that was FACTORY painted red, white, or gray and had a FAWN custom comfort seat. If you know of such a set-up, then this kind of proves the red was optional, no?
